I love this!! I so want to visit Namibia to see the planets and stars mentioned here.

AAAAHHH!!! Absolutely FLOORED that 'Autogas Ferryman' is nominated for the Bram Stoker Award 2025 for the Short Fiction category!! This honour belongs to all the taxi driver uncles 🫑

Thank you everyone for reading and loving Somsak

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is my favourite thing from GRRM and the episode tonight is my favourite out of all the Game of Thrones TV shows. I'm so hyped, I can't sleep. It's sooo good!!

Highly recommend taking time to read "Autogas Ferryman" by @champwongs.bsky.social

Especially if you're a voting member of the HWA; it's on the Stoker preliminary ballot and it's stellar

Ooh! The list is fantastic as always. I'm honored that "The Millay Illusion" is on there in the novelette category! Also delighted to see my students @somtoihezue.bsky.social and @champwongs.bsky.social make the list! Also also delighted to see a new category for translated novels. Congrats to all!
